About this listen

On the face of it, representing a widow in an accidental death case should be routine. Sergeant Maynard, a Royal Air Force policeman, died in a simple motorcycle accident. The problem is, Mrs Maynard insists her husband was murdered. Sceptical at first, Charles realises she could be right; something much more frightening is happening at the airbase.

As rifts in the corrupt Metropolitan Police are revealed and the threats to Charles and those he loves escalate, he begins to wonder–has he finally bitten off more than he can chew?

Force of Evil, based on a true but unpublicised case of multiple murder, is a sixth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers–gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

Another great story by Simon Michael. I love how the characters develop with each book. I didn't want this one to end.

This author can do no wrong.

The narration is by a top man and the stories are well written and obviously well researched. I was interested that I have also come from a family that was expelled from Spain after the Spanish Inquisition and like the character I had a Grandfather who married outside the “Faith” and my Father subsequently suffered during his childhood as an outcast.

Addictive series

What a wonderful novel- simply magnificent.. I was unsure at the start .. but that was so important for what was to come .. and what came was astounding.. I thought the last book was the best I had read .. however… & so happy about Charles & Sally .

Every character is richly described and believable. The thread of historical facts, even down to the Christmas number 1, grounds the book in time, place, and prevailing attitude. Loved it.

Never disappoints

I can’t understand why this series isn’t better known - it’d make a wonderful TV series, for instance. Carefully constructed plot, sensitive characterisation and fascinating period detail. Beautifully read, too, in a multitude of voices.

Yet another brilliant story from Simon Michael
